[1] "He this flowery carpet made
Made this earth on which we tread,
God refreshes in the air,
Covers with the clothes we wear,
Feeds us with the food we eat,
Cheers us by His light and heat,
Makes His sun on us to shine:
All our blessings are divine!"--_C. Wesley._
[2] Man, as the minister and interpreter of nature, does and
understands as much as his observations on the order of
nature, either with regard to things or the mind, permit
him, and neither knows, nor is capable of more. . . .
_Nature is only subdued by submission._--_Bacon._
